A move to the railway industry in which he has had a lifelong interest enabled him to return to his native Edinburgh, and he has since worked for ScotRail, the British Railways Board, Railtrack Scotland Zone, ScotRail Railways and First ScotRail, where he supports the Head of Media Relations on relations with the Regional Transport Partnerships and with Passenger Focus, as well as on development of First ScotRail's Adopt A Station policy, handling of filming requests and briefing on customer issues.
